When i worked in a shop in teaneck, sometimes we'd have a car come towed in with no keys or my boss would buy a car with no keys, anyway, he would call a locksmith to come to the shop. Then the locksmith would take a key blank of some sort and work with the lock and a cutter in his van, going back and forth making little cuts, in a matter of like 15 min he would have a set of keys cut, and it was like $25. However that is not the GM with Vats, that may be a little more involved to get the correct resistor ohm for the VATS system. If this happened like a week earlier, I could have sold you an entire lockset from a 94 firebird. But like every one else is saying, the dealer is your best option, yea it may cost more but if you look at it, what else can you do.
